February One Monument

Outdoor sculpture dedicated to four young and courageous men. David Richmond, Franklin McCain, Ezell Blair, Jr. (Jibreel Khazan) and Joseph McNeil envisioned and carried out the infamous lunch counter sit-in of Feb. 1, 1960, in downtown Greensboro as A&T freshmen. Their brave act against social injustice inspired similar protests across the nation and is remembered as a defining moment in the struggle for civil rights.
